Geospatial in the cloud

As mentioned previously, earlier in the week myself, Brian Timoney and Chris Helm did a set of presentations and demos on geospatial technology in the cloud, to the Boulder Denver Geospatial Technologists group. We were aiming to give a quick taste of a variety of interesting geo-things currently happening in the cloud, and we did it as six slots of about ten minutes each, and apart from my introductory opening slot these were all demos:

Hi Josh, sorry about that, obviously we couldn't mention everyone active in the geo cloud area, so we picked what we thought was a good cross section of examples where the 3 of us had direct experience.

Great presentations guys! I plan to e-mail Peter and Brian with a followup question. But for the larger group, since a lot of you are in the usability space, and have to work with the occasional ESRI web service, I'm wondering if you can check out my idea:http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087300000008HcmAAE
